Yeah, that video with the seat-out skills is awesome! I love all of the stalls... especially those where he's just resting on the seat with no contact with the wheel... stillstand coasting? Absolutely superb. And now that I fixed my cottered 20" so I can ride it for more than 5 minutes, I wanna go try it again! -- tron - -= J. Alan Atherton =- - J.

I don't know what the big deal is with these videos. I mean, they're not doing anything hard. Let's see them do all those tricks with -two- wheels; then I'll be impressed! *Disclaimer* For those born with an irony deficiency, I'm joking. Okay, flat out lying. I actually am quite impressed and extremely jealous. Please don't hurt me for the two wheel comment. -- paco - Creator of the "BUni" "We are all interested in the future, for that is where we will spend the rest of our lives." -Plan 9 From Outer Space ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paco's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3715 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26748 |

That video clip (I only took the time to view the one easy link) is amazing. I have never seen unicycling anywhere close to that in person, having never attended a conference or ridden with a freestyle specialist. Why, my limited unicycling is so stodgy and pedestrian in comparison!

I have never seen unicycling anywhere close to that in person, having never attended a conference or ridden with a freestyle specialist (or even indoors, for that matter). * That's why you should try to attend a convention. It's worth it. There is no substitute for seeing it done in person. Or get yourself a copy of the video One Wheel No Limit. It's a video of TCUC practice sessions and shows a lot of the freestyle skills. You can get it at unicycle.com. The Japanese girls have a very different freestyle style than US riders and other freestyle riders. The Japanese women do a lot of spins and standing on the crown. It's more flowing and more choreographed than other freestyle routines. However the Japanese girls don't do a more complete demonstration of skills in their routines like seated wheel walking, seat on side, crank idling, hopping on wheel, and other skills. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26748 |

I know this was the exception to the norm for the Japanese riders, but WHAT an exception. Or maybe I was just put into a trance by skills like pausing at the top of side ride or riding backward with feet under the pedals. And the music! Does anyone have an avi or mpeg of that? I was unable to get my camcorder to the performance. -- iunicycle - YeeeeHaaaa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iunicycle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1869 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26748 |

I was commenting about the videos of the women's routines at http://www.ichirin.ne.jp/video/. Those routines beautiful and flowing and all that, but not your typical freestyle style that you'd see if you went to a USA convention. UNICON 2002 videos are at ftp://ftp.unicyclist.com/Unicon11/. The video that you want is "013.avi". That was a unique routine and an impressive demonstration of skills. The video is encoded with 'DivX' (http://www.divx.com/divx/) so you'll need the DivX codec to play it. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/26748 |
